It is indeed difficult to believe that, at the age of only ten Mozart had written the Sonata Facile in C, which is one of his compositions included in this volume. I am sure that its delightfully melodious themes will please every lover of music,

The Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was described by Mozart in his thematic catalogue as "for beginners," and it is sometimes known by the name Sonata facile or Sonata semplice.

Mozart added the work to his catalogue on June 26, 1788. The exact circumstances of the work's composition are not known. Although the piece is well known today it was not published in Mozart's lifetime, first appearing in print in 1805.
